As part of the expansion of the Permanent Accommodation Scheme, a grant of €240,000 was sanctioned to enable the management authority of the school in question to provide additional accommodation. The scheme allows Boards of Management to address their accommodation and building priorities with a guaranteed amount of funding and gives them control of their building project.

This school has already been approved for additional funding of €112,000 to cover unavoidable extra costs on their project. A further appeal for additional funding has been received and will be examined by the Review Committee in due course. The result of the appeal will be conveyed to the school management as soon as it becomes available.
